A&E delays and deaths, religious identity in N Ireland and naming the monster numbers
As Tim Harford and the More or Less team return for a new series, we ask how many people may be dying because of treatment delays in the NHS.
Tim Harford and the team return for a new series of the number crunching show. With the huge pressures facing the NHS we ask how many people may be dying because of treatment delays in A&E. We hear what the latest census tells us about changing religious identity in Northern Ireland. We look at misleading claims about covid vaccines after the collapse of American football player Damar Hamlin. And we hear how More or Less has wielded its influence over how we all describe very large numbers.
